To evaluate the efficacy of upper cervical joint mobilization and/or manipulation on reducing pain and improving maximal mouth opening (MMO) and pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) in adults with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction compared with sham or other intervention.
MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library from inception to June 3, 2022, were searched.
Eight randomized controlled trials with 437 participants evaluating manual therapy (MT) vs sham and MT vs other intervention were included. Two reviewers independently extracted data and assessed risk of bias.
Two independent reviewers extracted information about origin, number of study participants, eligibility criteria, type of intervention, and outcome measures.
Manual therapy was statistically significant in reducing pain compared with sham (mean difference [MD]: -1.93 points, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -3.61 to -0.24, =.03), and other intervention (MD: -1.03 points, 95% CI: -1.73 to -0.33, =.004), improved MMO compared with sham (MD: 2.11 mm, 95% CI: 0.26 to 3.96, =.03), and other intervention (MD: 2.25 mm, 95% CI: 1.01 to 3.48, <.001), but not statistically significant in improving PPT of masseter compared with sham (MD: 0.45 kg/cm, 95% CI: -0.21 to 1.11, =.18), and other intervention (MD: 0.42 kg/cm, 95% CI: -0.19 to 1.03, =.18), or the PPT of temporalis compared with sham (MD: 0.37 kg/cm, 95% CI: -0.03 to 0.77, =.07), and other intervention (MD: 0.43 kg/cm, 95% CI: -0.60 to 1.45, =.42).
There appears to be limited benefit of upper cervical spine MT on TMJ dysfunction, but definitive conclusions cannot be made because of heterogeneity and imprecision of treatment effects.
与假干预或其他干预相比,评估上颈椎关节松动术和/或整复手法在减轻成人颞下颌关节(TMJ)功能障碍患者疼痛、改善最大开口度(MMO)和压痛阈值(PPTs)方面的疗效。
检索了从数据库建立至2022年6月3日的MEDLINE、CINAHL、EMBASE和Cochrane图书馆。
纳入了八项随机对照试验,共437名参与者,评估手法治疗(MT)与假干预以及MT与其他干预的效果。两名 reviewers 独立提取数据并评估偏倚风险。
两名独立 reviewers 提取了有关研究来源、研究参与者数量、纳入标准、干预类型和结局指标的信息。
与假干预相比,手法治疗在减轻疼痛方面具有统计学意义(平均差值[MD]:-1.93分,95%置信区间[CI]:-3.61至-0.24,P =.03),与其他干预相比也有统计学意义(MD:-1.03分,95% CI:-1.73至-0.33,P =.004);与假干预相比,手法治疗在改善最大开口度方面有统计学意义(MD:2.11 mm,95% CI:0.26至3.96,P =.03),与其他干预相比也有统计学意义(MD:2.25 mm,95% CI:1.01至3.48,P <.001);但与假干预相比,手法治疗在改善咬肌压痛阈值方面无统计学意义(MD:0.45 kg/cm²,95% CI:-0.21至1.11,P =.18),与其他干预相比也无统计学意义(MD:0.42 kg/cm²,95% CI:-0.19至1.03,P =.18);与假干预相比,手法治疗在改善颞肌压痛阈值方面无统计学意义(MD:0.37 kg/cm²,95% CI:-0.03至0.77,P =.07),与其他干预相比也无统计学意义(MD:0.43 kg/cm²,95% CI:-0.60至1.45,P =.42)。
上颈椎手法治疗对颞下颌关节功能障碍的益处似乎有限,但由于治疗效果的异质性和不精确性,无法得出明确结论。
